Skillet have added another major achievement to their career as their signature hit “Monster” has now surpassed four billion streams worldwide. The six-times-platinum track has also earned a place in Spotify’s Billions Club, further cementing its position among the most-streamed rock songs ever released.
The milestone comes shortly after Skillet completed a fully sold-out European headline tour. The run moved 90,000 tickets across 23 cities and brought the band in front of some of the largest crowds they have ever played to outside North America.
Throughout the tour, Skillet packed venues in cities including London, Glasgow, Paris, Munich, Warsaw, Bucharest and Barcelona. Several locations also posted record-breaking ticket sales, including Paris’s historic Zenith venue.
More than two decades into their career, the band’s international appeal continues to grow. Beyond the touring circuit, Skillet recently gained additional exposure when “Legendary” was selected as the featured theme song for a historic UFC event held at the White House.
The group’s momentum also carried into the holiday season. At the end of 2025, Skillet released its first Christmas recording, “O Come, O Come Emmanuel”. The track quickly gained traction and reached No. 1 on five Billboard charts, introducing the band’s music to additional listeners around the world.
With more than 23 million albums sold globally, over 12 million monthly Spotify listeners and billions of streams across digital platforms, Skillet remains one of hard rock’s most commercially successful acts.
The band’s accomplishments include multi-platinum, platinum and gold certifications from the RIAA for 12 singles and four studio albums. Skillet has also received two Grammy Award nominations, earned a Billboard Music Award and scored three Top 5 debuts on the Billboard 200 chart.
Outside of music, the band expanded its creative reach through the launch of the graphic novel series Eden in partnership with Z2.
Looking ahead, Skillet has indicated that new material is on the way. The group has suggested that some of its heaviest music to date could arrive later this year.
Fans already received an early preview during Skillet‘s headlining performance on May 14 at Arena 8888 in Sofia, Bulgaria, where the band debuted a new track titled “Scream”. A studio version of the song is expected to be released in the near future.
